Writing your comprehensive exams is very stressful for most PhD students. I don’t know of anyone that loved the comprehensive exams. Once you are done the comprehensive exams or core exams, you are happy you did that step of the PhD process, but you are also happy that you will never do them again.

Here are a five tips that might help you with your PhD comprehensive exams.

Spend an adequate time on study for the exams. You should spend enough time preparing for the comprehensive exams but not so much time that you cut into your time for doing research and writing papers.
Look around you for research questions with the theories you are using. If you read the newspaper, then see if you can apply the theories you learnt to come up with new lens on the thing you read.
Create a spreadsheet of the different theories and assumptions of these theories. Make sure that you think and write about the different theories, and how they fit together. What are the similarities and differences between the theories? What theories do you prefer and why?
Tackle a set of theories or literatures in a set period of time. I would have a target of what theories you want to read through and keep track of during your study period. Make sure you cover these papers.
For the last 1-2 weeks, try to read some of the current articles in your lead journals. See if you can make sense of these papers using the tables and spreadsheets you created for your comprehensive exam study guide.

David Maslach is a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform.

https://r3ciprocity.com: Peer proofreading and editing platform

A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people's documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money.

The goal of the platform is to get people to 'pay it forward' and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.
